XC17V08VQ44I

Overview

The XC17V08VQ44I is a configuration memory device manufactured by AMD (formerly Xilinx), designed for programming Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. It features a memory density of 8,388,608 bits organized as 1 megaword by 8 bits. The component operates in synchronous mode and utilizes a Plastic Quad Flat Package with 44 pins (PQFP44). It is classified as EEPROM storage type within the XC18V00 series.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration data
• Supports synchronous operation modes for reliable data transfer
• Utilizes a standard plastic quad flat package for surface mount integration

Applications

• Programming Spartan-II and Spartan-IIE FPGAs
• Configuration of Virtex-E and Virtex-II devices
• System initialization for Xilinx programmable logic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify compliance status carefully as this specific part number may not be RoHS compliant according to available records. Confirm the manufacturer source, noting that Rochester Electronics may distribute units originally from AMD/Xilinx. Ensure the PQFP44 package variant matches the target PCB footprint requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1Mx8 bit capacity is required for Xilinx FPGA configuration. The synchronous interface distinguishes it from asynchronous counterparts. Consider the PQFP44 package constraints for board layout. Verify if the specific voltage levels and timing requirements of the target FPGA are compatible with this memory device's specifications.

Part Context

This device belongs to the XC17V00 family of configuration PROMs. These parts are specifically engineered to store the bitstream files necessary to initialize Xilinx FPGAs upon power-up. They serve as the primary non-volatile storage medium for defining the logic functions and interconnections within the programmable device.

Replacement Considerations

XC17V08PC44I: Alternative package variant. XC17V08TQ44I: Thin QFP package option. XC17V08VQ44C: Commercial temperature grade version.
